Martin Takes GCSU Athlete of the Week

Nov 24, 2009

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. - Powering the Bobcats to
wins in their first two games, senior guard Graham Martin
(Marietta, Ga.) of the Georgia College & State
University men's basketball team (2-0) was named GCSU Athlete of
the Week for the week ending Nov. 22. This is the first such award
for both Martin at Bobcat basketball this season.

Martin aided the Bobcats to a 2-0 start this season, supplying a
crucial impact in both contests. In Wednesday's win over Newberry,
he led the Bobcats in points (21) and rebounds (6) while hitting
4-of-6 from behind the arc. In Saturday's West Georgia game, a tied
contest with less than a minute left, he got a steal on the
defensive end to net a jump-stop shot in the paint for a two-point
lead. He then got another steal with just 10 seconds left as the
Wolves were going for the tie or the lead. He finished with 13
points and a team-high four steals.

The Bobcats are back in action Friday, Nov. 27 at 6 p.m. at the
Dick Campbell Memorial Classic against host Carson-Newman College.
Georgia College returns home Thursday, Dec. 3 at 7:30 p.m. against
Carver Bible College.
